I watched a Japanese video about the awful classic 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie since I was curious about how it was viewed from a Japanese perspective. Disney's involvement in the movie's production is mentioned at which point the author jokes that "if today's Disney was in charge, Mario would probably be made into a black guy"

I love how everyone's brains are being pickled by the same shitty American culture wars worldwide

The comments were also great

"Toad could work as a black person because his head kind of resembles an afro"

"Italians are already considered a minority in America so they wouldn't need to change him into a black man"

The best part about learning new languages is being able to read even more racist comments on the internet

    Lmao Asian ethnic groups are absolutely not physically indistinguishable from each other.

    Well then tell that to the Korean and Japanese people who regularly confuse my Chinese ass as Korean or Japanese. Maybe I just have "one of those faces" but I've never seen a convincing and reasonably accurate explanation of how we look physically different between national groups that wasn't just weird phrenology.

    Also as a Chinese person… let me tell you… a significant majority of East Asians are racist af.

    Damn, maybe you should find better friends because I'm sure not hanging around with a majority of racists.

    And yeah, some Asians are racist like you said. Some part of every population is racist. But "the most racist" means more racist than the slave trade, segregation, apartheid, the current genocide in Gaza, frequent hate crimes and racially motivated mass shootings. Asian people as a whole aren't doing any of that shit.
